Newsletter August 2016 Newsletter August 2016 produced by Peter Lee 01780 782703 [email protected] Toby Wood 01733 732784 [email protected] BROADWAY THEATRE There has been some recent publicity and controversy about what might happen to the Broadway Theatre. It is currently owned by local businessman, Rinaldo Fasulo, who, at the time of writing, is apparently considering conversion of the building into flats. As yet no planning application has been submitted to the Council but, rest assured, the Society will comment when appropriate. In the meantime the committee has discussed and approved the following statement which appeared in the Peterborough Telegraph. m Peterborough Civic Society is very disappointed to read in the Peterborough Telegraph (July 14) that there are proposals to convert the Broadway theatre into apartments. The building was beautifully restored a decade ago at considerable expense to an admirably high standard. Whilst acknowledging that the city needs further housing, in particular high quality dwellings, the Society believes that every effort should be made to continue to utilise the building for entertainment purposes. We therefore urge the City Council and Vivacity, along with the building’s current owner, to investigate use of the building for the benefit of all Peterborians. The Society will discuss the matter fully at its next committee meeting and will comment on any planning application submitted to the local authority. It is also our intention to meet with elected members of Peterborough City Council to discuss the Broadway Theatre in particular as well as the wider issues of other arts venues in the city and the future of local authority funding for the arts. In addition Barry Warne, a local resident, has organised a petition on Change.org which has so far attracted over 1,000 signatures and will be presented to the Council. GUILDHALL WALK Guildhall Walk The weldmesh fencing/gate constructed by Barclays Bank across the Cathedral Square end of Guildhall Walk generated a huge amount of objection, including from our Society. We were pleased to see that officers made a recommendation of refusal when the application went to Planning Committee in June. Following strong representations from the Bank at the meeting and a quite remarkable level of sympathy shown towards them as opposed to the rights and needs of pedestrians and cyclists, the application (16/00482/FUL) was approved. A condition states that the gate shall be open between the hours of 8am and 6pm Mon-Sat and 9am to 5pm on Sundays and Bank Holidays. However the story is not over. We argue that, whether under the Highways Act or other footpath legislation, an established right exists which must be respected and should allow unrestricted access. At the very least the hours of opening should extend to reflect the hours of use of a vibrant City Centre with numerous restaurants, evening events and festivals. We are in dialogue with City Council officers on the way forward. www.peterboroughcivicsociety.org.uk 1 FLETTON QUAYS UPDATE When the original outline planning application (15/01589/OUT) came in for the Fletton Quays (i.e. “South Bank”) site last year the Society objected. But it was approved in December and since then there has been an impressive amount of activity to bring the scheme to reality. To recap, although welcomed in principle, we felt that the scheme would not regenerate the area. As a mix of residential apartments, offices and a hotel, there was nothing to attract visitors other than views of the river and the Cathedral. No ‘iconic’ footbridge linking the site to the rest of the city centre; no meaningful renovation and re-use of the heritage railway buildings and Whitworth Mill. We felt the scheme was not good enough but the consent did impose conditions to address some of the concerns raised by us and others. Since then there has been a flurry of activity including, on the ground, the demolition of Aqua House. Office block, renovation of railway engine sheds, multi-storey car park and access (16/00652/REM and 16/00653/LBC) Developers have been named for two major phases of the development. Bride Hall Developments will construct the new Council offices and renovation of the engine shed for which permissions were granted in June 2016. Members of Civic Society plans group were shown plans in advance of the submission and were favourably impressed. Some comments on the entrance to the engine shed and incorporation or protection of features in this building were taken on board. Access Road (16/01066/FUL) Although this follows the layout of the outline approval for the scheme we had serious concerns regarding the adequacy of the junction with London Road. The road width for traffic leaving the site appears to be inadequate in the length of lanes for both right and left turn vehicles at the traffic lights. Within the site the configuration of access points to the multi-storey car park means that residents leaving at morning peak will be delayed by office worker traffic entering. This may create long queues within the MS car park which is undesirable. Decision pending. Public Realm, phasing, ecology, bird boxes, etc. (16/01204/DISCHG) Re the public realm, we said that the use of a palette of high quality materials tailored to suit the variety of urban spaces and circulation routes is commendable. The picking out of surface details and shapes to reflect the history of the site, such as railway turntable and rail tracks is good. The river edge ‘promenade’ consists of a wide area containing both soft landscape areas and hard edge to water. This is a welcome ‘quayside’ effect. We are pleased to see some form of quayside in Fletton Quays. The linking of the numerous larger spaces, the civic plazas and the promenade, with streets is well considered and the variety created by the detailing of ‘Green’ and ‘Blue’ streets is thoughtfully done. These spaces provide framed views of the south elevation of the Cathedral and are important in giving character to the whole development. The choice of tree species at the riverside end of these spaces must be carefully selected to avoid blocking sight of the Cathedral. Some of the existing mature willows may need to be removed to further improve views. It is considered that in this part of the scheme emphasis should be given to creating a lively and distinctive urban quayside character. Continuing maintenance of these public spaces and private communal area will be essential and a planning condition or agreement secured. No provision for the future installation of a footpath link under Town Bridge at the riverside or the footbridge over the Nene in the centre of the site have been shown but there appears to be nothing which would make either of these vital pieces of infrastructure difficult to achieve. Residential blocks (16/01314/REM) This is a complex reserved matters application, registered in July, showing details of the four residential blocks containing 280 apartments and retail/leisure units with undercroft car parking, on which comments are currently being prepared by the Society’s Plans Group. We were shown the plans in advance of the application and the design had improved on the outline illustrations. The four blocks were within the height and footprint parameters and the seven-storey block at the western end was slightly lower. Kem Mehmed www.peterboroughcivicsociety.org.uk 2 PLANNING APPLICATIONS The following is a selection of the cases your Plans Groups have looked at since your last newsletter and decisions made on applications where we submitted comments previously. The reference numbers are given so that you can examine the plans if you wish on the City Council’s web-site, http://www.peterborough.gov.uk/planning_and_building.aspx and by clicking on the Planning and Building Online Register. Queensgate rooftop extension for Cinema and food hall (15/01013/FUL and 16/00252/FUL) We reported on the competitive position of Queensgate and the prospective developers of North Westgate in the April Newsletter. The City Council’s approval of both developers’ schemes was followed by an application by the North Westgate developer for Judicial Review of the Council’s decision to approve the Queensgate one. Whilst waiting for the legal processes to take their course a second application was made by Queensgate, virtually a duplicate of the earlier one but for inclusion of material addressing its implications for the regeneration of North Westgate. Outcome. The judicial review was unsuccessful and the City Council approved the second Queensgate application (16/00252/FUL) on 29th July. Your society will to press the City Council and the owners of the North Westgate land to formulate a new scheme for this prime City Centre site which has been vacant and unsightly for so long. Residential development (80 houses - outline) Uffington Road Barnack (15/01840/OUT) This major application for development outside the village envelope line was reported in our last newsletter. Current situation: Application refused at Planning committee in March. An appeal has been lodged and will be the subject of a Public Inquiry (date to be decided) 30-bed student accommodation block at Brassey Close (16/00260/FUL) This was a resubmission of an earlier scheme to which the Society objected on grounds of overdevelopment, inadequate provision for external facilities and adverse effect on the a New England cottages Conservation Area. Whilst some of our concerns had been addressed the main points on objection remained. Outcome: Application refused on grounds of overdevelopment, lack of amenity space, overbearing impact on the GN Cottages, inadequate access and parking and the impact on trees. An appeal has been lodged.

  • Executive Summary and Overview by the Chief Executive
    Appendix 1: Proposed Vivacity Business Plan 24.2.1 Executive Summary and Overview By The Chief Executive The next five years is a story with two themes. The first is one of business as usual. Given the nature of our work this is not surprising. The day to day work of Vivacity remains unchanged- lending almost 1 million items through our libraries; teaching 1500 children a week to swim; providing 1million people the opportunity to take part in sport; approaching 100,000 people learning about their local heritage and 55,000 theatre tickets sold each year. The second theme is one of change brought about by opportunities. Most significantly: Development of Hampton Leisure Facilities - It is probable that the management of two new leisure facilities will be offered to Vivacity in the summer of 2013. This will generate fantastic new opportunities for people to take part and increase our turnover dramatically and hence make a significant contribution to our central support costs. This must be balanced by the knowledge that it will bring tangible risks- the business model is primarily based on the selling of gym memberships in other words a non- fixed income. It is crucial that we approach the opportunity presented by these facilities with business focus rather than being attracted by the opportunity of growth for its own sake. If these projects move forward they will become the main focus of effort in 2013 and 2014. Must Farm Finds - The long term future for the Must Farm find is far from clear. What is known is that Flag Fen offers up a medium and perhaps longer term opportunity for the preservation and presentation of these fantastic artefacts.

  • Fabian Summer Walk – Some Background Notes
    Fabian Summer Walk – Some Background Notes Alwalton – Some history Traces of early man have been found. In Roman times a building of some kind evidently existed at Alwalton, and various coins and pieces of pottery, etc., have been found. King Edred granted the land at Alwalton in 955 to his thegn Aelfsige Hunlafing. It was afterwards given to the Abbey of Peterborough, which held Alwalton at the time of the Conquest. Alwalton was listed in the Domesday Book [1086] as “Alwoltune”. It records that there were 20 households with a population between 70 and 100. In the 2011 census the population was 317. Alwalton used to be in the administrative county of Huntingdonshire until 1965. Apparently locals are still fiercely loyal to the old county – or at least identify with it as a shire district, rather than Cambridgeshire. References Archive images – Alwalton British History Online – Alwalton British History Online – Parishes, Alwalton Welcome to Peterborough – Alwalton Wikipedia: Alwalton Wikipedia: Huntingdonshire Alwalton Marble Alwalton marble is known to have been used from the 12th century until 1875**. It was used in the cathedrals at Lincoln, Peterborough, Bury St Edmunds and Ely, and in Southwell Minster, as well as many parish churches, such as Barnack. The quarry site has been identified as the Alwalton Lynch escarpment on the banks of the River Nene (which provided a convenient way of transporting the stone).
